PrGxALIos AND GALATEA.

Mile Rhea in her animated statue, at Gran

admirably suited to her superb form and grace
Vi uotlou. NE piOt presents uxIp ulLlcul-
ties for the genius of the actress to overcome.
The sudden transition from cold, unfeellng
marble into flesh and blood and the advenl of
this beautiful woman, with the powers of
maturity, into world of whose conditions
and relations she is perfectly ignorant, de-
mands the exercise of peculiar powers. And
yet no one who saw the performance Sstur-
day evening could very we'll help admiring
her Interpretation of the part. The subdued
yet intense emotion the natural innocence of
one who is ignorant of Gin, are most charm
ingly and naturally rendered. Mile. Rhea
is well supported in her role. Mr.. Edward
Bell as Pygmalion, and Miss Adelaide Fitz
Allen as Cynisco, Pygmalion's wife, are both
worthy of mention. And Mr.. j. R. Amory
as Chrysas. the art critic, was inimitable and
convulsed the audience with laughter. The
neurological character of the play invested it
with an air of the supernatural which, al
though decidedly novel, was by no means
di.pleasing. The entertainment was under
the popular and successful management of
Mr.. J. M. Wall of Wsterville.
